  • CHOOSING a BIBLE TRANSLATION Reading, Studying and Praying
    CHOOSING A BIBLE TRANSLATION Reading, studying and praying through the Bible are an essential part of the Christian faith. The Bible teaches us about who God is; the purpose of human life; and how we should live in relation to God, to other people and to the created world. But more than just a source of information, beliefs, and practices, when we read the Bible with faith it becomes one of the key places where we encounter God. Indeed, when we pray for God’s Spirit to bring the ancient words alive, we are promised an encounter with God’s living Word – Jesus himself. All of this makes choosing which Bible translation to use an important decision. The two main things that go into this decision is how faithful it is to the original Hebrew and Greek Biblical manuscripts (so it will communicate what the Bible really says), and whether it’s easy to understand and enjoyable to read (so that you’ll actually want to read it). Picking a good translation means balancing the two – some translations focus on being as literal as possible (word-for-word), while others focus on taking the ideas spoken in the ancient languages and putting them into easily understandable modern English (thought-for-thought). Below I’ve listed four translations which are among the most common ones used today. NRSV (New Revised Standard Version) The NRSV is a mainly word- for-word translation of the Bible that is the most commonly used translation in university level Biblical studies. One of its distinctive features are the fact that it was translated by a group of scholars that included Protestant, Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox Christians, which makes it largely free of bias towards any one Christian tradition.

  • 'Lost in Translations'
    St Peter’s College 2020 – Bill Goodman ‘Lost in Translations’ Which Bible Shall We Read? How Do Bible Translators Work? Today we have numerous different Bible translations in English. The translators tend to use two different approaches: - Literal – try to translate the exact words and phrases of the original language. A ‘word-for-word’ approach; also known as ‘Formal Equivalence’. - Dynamic – try to translate the thoughts and ideas of the original text. Update words, idioms and grammar by finding equivalents in the receptor language. An ‘idea-for-idea’ approach; also known as ‘Functional Equivalence’. For examples of the difference, compare different translations of Mark 15:33 (in NT times, what we call ‘noon’ was ‘the sixth hour’) or Phil. 1:8 (literally ‘bowels’, understood to be where compassion arises). Most translations use both approaches, but prefer one more strongly than the other. The box below gives a rough guide to which way each of the most commonly available versions leans. Which Translation is Which Type? In very broad terms, we can think of a spectrum between these two approaches: Formal Equivalence Functional Equivalence (‘word-for-word’) (‘idea-for-idea’) KJV&NKJV RSV&NRSV NIV&TNIV NIrV GNB CEV NLT LB NASBu ESV ISV JPS REB NEB CEB rNJB NJB JB NCV Message BfE NETbib Abbreviations (‘--------’ indicates a family connection, usually a revision) BfE = Bible for Everyone (Goldingay & Wright) CEB = Common English Bible CEV = Contemporary English Version GNB = Good News Bible (originally called Today’s English Version) ISV =

  • Tyndale to Release Ground-Breaking NLT Study Bible for Immediate
    For Immediate Release Media Contact: Nancy Guthrie July, 2008 [email protected] 615.376.4430 Tyndale to Release Ground-Breaking NLT Study Bible First Study Bible Simultaneously Released in Print, Online, and Three Electronic Versions Carol Stream, IL—On September 15, 2008, Tyndale Publishing House will launch the ground-breaking NLT Study Bible, which they anticipate will soon become the #1 Study Bible for serious Bible students. A team of 48 scholars and editors have been at work over the last seven years creating the NLT Study Bible, but this kind of study resource has been in Tyndale’s plans since they first launched the effort to create theNew Living Translation nearly twenty years ago. “In the late 1980s we began to bring together a translation team of ninety of the world’s best biblical scholars to create the New Living Translation, which originally released in 1996 and in a second edition in 2004,” explained Mark Taylor, president of Tyndale House and Executive Editor and Chief Stylist of the NLT Study Bible. “From the beginning, our plan was to create not only the clearest accurate English translation of the Bible from the Hebrew and Greek manuscripts, but also to create the most user-friendly study Bible available—which we believe we have done in the NLT Study Bible.” Setting a new standard for the introduction of Bible products, the NLT Study Bible is the first study Bible to release simultaneously not only in a print version, but in a fully-searchable online version, and in the three major electronic Bible formats including WordSearch, PocketBible, and Logos.

Whether you and the Bible have barely met or are trying to rebuild an old relationship, a fresh perspective can work wonders. Without pretending to exhaust all the possibilities involved in Bible read- ing, this chapter skims some of the options every reader has when approaching or reapproaching this massive, diverse, and frequently misunderstood book. 05_0789734192_Ch03.qxd 9/19/05 5:19 PM Page 26 26 ABSOLUTE BEGINNER’S GUIDE TO THE BIBLE Three Ways of Looking at the Bible Most people read the Bible in at least one of three ways: ■ As holy scripture ■ As history ■ As literature As Holy Scripture In the previous chapter, we discussed various beliefs regarding where Scripture comes from and classified them into three basic categories: ■ Fundamentalism—Holds that God is the author of the Bible. Biblical funda- mentalists believe that the Bible is a holy and divine product and means what it says at face value (except in cases where the metaphorical intent is clear, such as when Jesus tells his parables). ■ Modernism—Holds that the Bible was written by human beings inspired by their relationships with God. Biblical modernists also tend to see the Bible as holy, but believe that context, metaphor, and the limitations of its human authors should be taken into account.

  • A QUANTITATIVE EVALUATION of the CHRISTIAN STANDARD BIBLE Report by Dr
    A QUANTITATIVE EVALUATION OF THE CHRISTIAN STANDARD BIBLE Report by Dr. Andi Wu of Global Bible Initiative In this Bible translation evaluation, the Christian Standard Bible (CSB) is compared with eight other popular English Bible translations: • English Standard Version (ESV) • King James Version (KJV) • New American Standard Bible (NASB) • New English Translation (NET) • New International Version (NIV) • New King James Version (NKJV) • New Living Translation (NLT) • New Revised Standard Version (NRSV) The evaluation is quantitative in that each translation is linguistically analyzed and statistically measured by a computerized procedure to produce numerical scores for each aspect of the text. This avoids some of the problems associated with manual evaluation: subjective, qualitative, time-consuming, and consequently anecdotal and incomplete. The text of each translation is first analyzed by an automatic English parser to produce tree diagrams of its structures, from which syntactic relations between words can be extracted. This is followed by automatic alignment, which attempts to link every word in the translation to the corresponding word in the Hebrew or Greek text. The result is a reverse interlinear between the given translation and the original texts. The translations are evaluated in 3 major categories: • Literalness (word for word equivalence to the source texts) • Readability (conformity to current usage) • Balance between literalness and readability A. LITERALNESS MEASURES 1. Transfer Rate of Syntactic Relations Syntactic relations are the basic meaning-carrying units of a sentence. For example, “In the beginning God created the heavens and earth” contains the following syntactic relations: God – created (subject-verb) created – heavens (verb-object) created – earth (verb-object) heavens – earth (coordination) created – (in the) beginning (verb-adverbial of time) The percentage of these relationships that are preserved in the syntax of the translation indicates how close the translation is to the original text.
